Kenton Cool

Kenton Cool is one of the world's greatest high altitude guides, having climbed extensively through the Himalaya, Alps, Greenland and Alaska. Personally reaching the summit of Everest an amazing nine times Kenton can truly be described as having gone the extra mile, raising vital funds and awareness for deserving causes. In 2007 Kenton became the first British Guide to lead a client -Sir Ranulph Fiennes successfully up the North Face of the Eiger in aid of Marie Curie, raising an incredible £2 million along the way. Two years later he teamed up with Fiennes again to reach the summit of Everest - to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Marie Curie and inspire others to raise money through their own personal challenges. Kenton's bold approach and determination to help people achieve their dreams has made him one of the world's leading guides and an inspirational candidate to carry the torch next year.
